Chapter 332: Chapter 0331: A Doctor’s Parental Heart 2 (Second Update)_1
The ones who came in were the patient’s family.
As soon as the elderly man had a stroke and was in critical condition, the inpatient department notified his family, who now rushed over.
A young couple, both around their twenties and rather hot-tempered, came in.

“What are you doing?”
After the man entered and saw silver needles inserted in the elderly man’s head, he shouted loudly.
“We’re performing surgery, don’t disturb us, get out now,” the young nurse commanded sternly.
“Don’t tell me you’re doing a craniocerebral blood-letting surgery. Everyone knows that only the director of the Duanmu First Hospital, Duanmu Kuang, with his Nine Acupoint Divine Needles, can perform such surgery. Who exactly are you, do you even know what you’re doing?” the man accused, pointing at Duanmu Linglong angrily.
Duanmu Linglong was already furious because she couldn’t find the spot for the fifth needle, and his interruption made her even more enraged, “Get out, if the patient is disturbed and something happens, you’ll be responsible.”
The man yanked Duanmu Linglong over and said furiously, “For craniocerebral blood-letting surgery, within the entire Duanmu First Hospital only Director Duanmu Kuang can do it, and the success rate isn’t even that high. You, a mere woman, dare to undertake such surgery… Oh, I get it now, you want to use my father as a guinea pig for your practice, if it’s successful, you get the credit, if not, you’ll just say my father was beyond help, shirking all responsibility, right?”
“What do you think we doctors are?” Duanmu Linglong’s face turned with rage.
She was already facing immense dangers performing this surgery, and given her current status, she really needn’t take such risks. Yet, instead of understanding from the family, she faced such misunderstanding.
She had gotten up in the middle of the night to perform surgery on a patient who wasn’t even under her care, what was she aiming for?
“How could you say that about the vice-director?” the nurse blurted out anxiously, unable to help pulling at the man.
“I absolutely won’t let you experiment on my dad like a lab rat, stop the surgery right now, we’re going to do a craniotomy.”
“Do you know how critical a craniotomy is? Its success rate is less than sixty percent. Even if it’s successful, the patient might lose their ability to care for themselves. Why can’t you let the vice-director try first, and then if it doesn’t work, go ahead?” pleaded the nurse anxiously.
“If it doesn’t work and then we do the surgery, my father will have no chance,” said the man, intending to pull at Duanmu Linglong.
At that moment, an object violently struck him—it was a chair thrown by Ye Xiong, sending him tumbling to the ground.
If Ye Xiong was not holding the elderly man’s head with his hand, he would’ve gone over there and taught him a lesson already.
“Do you even know who is performing the surgery on your father? She’s Duanmu Linglong, the sole daughter of Director Duanmu Kuang, and she has been thoroughly schooled in his techniques. Would she operate without confidence? We had to call her and request her assistance; otherwise, she’d still be comfortably asleep in her bed. Your father isn’t even her patient, yet here she is, getting up in the middle of the night, taking a great risk to help your father with the Silver Needle bleed-inducing method. What does she stand to gain? She’s doing this because she thinks your father can be saved. Instead of understanding, you treat her like this… Get out right now, if you cause a delay in the surgery, you will bear all the responsibility,” Ye Xiong bellowed in fury.
His words were resonant and full of righteous indignation.
With his angry glare, not just any regular person, but even a skilled expert, would be intimidated by Ye Xiong.
“Get out!” Ye Xiong roared.
The woman quickly dragged the man out, and as they left, the man said, “If the surgery isn’t successful, I won’t let this go.”
The man walked out, cursing under his breath.
Duanmu Linglong had already been struggling to progress with the final needle, and now, with this commotion, she found it even harder to focus.
If the surgery failed, it would be a fatal blow to her reputation.
“How can we get the last needle in?” Ye Xiong asked.
“Our school actually has two supreme skills, apart from the Nine Acupoint Divine Needles, we also have a form of Inner Strength. Sadly, my Inner Strength is still very weak and I can’t channel it into the Silver Needle. If my Inner Strength were at that level, I could insert the needle. This is also why my father always restricts me from performing craniocerebral blood-letting surgeries,” Duanmu Linglong lamented.
Afterward, Duanmu Linglong tried several more times, but she couldn’t get the needle through.
“Can’t we just force it in?”
“We could use brute force to insert it, but we would be unable to control the force accurately, which could very likely cause brain damage,” Duanmu Linglong explained.
As time passed, Duanmu Linglong became increasingly nervous. The sweat she had just wiped from her forehead began to seep out again.
“Heaven has a virtue called cherishing life; maybe a miracle will happen?” Ye Xiong said.
“Miracles are based on reality, and I can’t do it—I really can’t.”
A look of dejection washed over Duanmu Linglong’s face, and after a long pause, she finally decided, “Take him to the brain surgery room immediately for a craniotomy.”
“But those two men outside—if they find out, won’t we be in a lot of trouble?”
“We can’t worry about that now, life always comes first.”
While they weren’t paying attention, Ye Xiong’s hand grasped a silver needle. The Dragon Spiral Inner Power circled within his body, swiftly flowing to his fingertips. With a slight effort, the silver needle pierced through the skull and entered the brain.
Because he was unfamiliar with the Nine Acupoint Divine Needles, Ye Xiong didn’t dare to act recklessly after inserting it.
Although he possessed inner strength, his acupuncture skills were too poor—he didn’t dare to be careless.
“Hey, look quickly,” Ye Xiong called out, pointing at the silver needle.
Duanmu Linglong’s attention was drawn by his voice, and her gaze fell upon the silver needle. She saw droplets of blood from the brain oozing out of the needle.
She was certain she hadn’t pierced through the brain bone, so how could there be blood? Duanmu Linglong was both shocked and delighted.
She quickly walked over and pinched the silver needle, feeling it tentatively.
How did it go in? Could it really be a miracle from heaven?
There wasn’t time for her to ponder; she swiftly applied her needles, and more and more congealed blood flowed out from the holes made by the silver needles.
Half an hour later, when all the blood clots within the skull had been completely drawn out, Duanmu Linglong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
An hour later, the elderly man finally regained consciousness. His son and daughter-in-law were both shocked and overjoyed.
“Deputy Director, I’m sorry, I was wrong. I apologize to you on behalf of my husband for the offense he caused earlier. Thank you for saving my dad,” said the son’s wife, pulling at the man next to her.
“I apologize, Deputy Director. I was ignorant and never imagined that someone other than Director Duanmu could perform intracranial bloodletting. I’m sorry for what happened earlier,” the man said.
“Good to know. I hope you won’t hold such prejudices against us doctors in the future. Do you realize how insulting your earlier words were to us doctors and to our hospital?” the nurse said angrily.
“I’m sorry, I spoke without thinking…”
“It’s fine now. Keep a close watch on the patient and call me if anything happens.”
Having said that, Duanmu Linglong took off her doctor’s coat, revealing her perfect figure.
At that moment, Ye Xiong suddenly realized she was particularly beautiful.
“What’s your name?” Duanmu Linglong’s gaze settled on Ye Xiong.
“Chen Yang,” Ye Xiong replied.
